West Yellowstone, MT

Traveled into Idaho for a short road trip before our Wildlife Tour. We saw pronghorns and a moose. Tour was a blast. We had a grizzly walking beside our van. We saw another one up in the forest. Went to Yellowstone Grand Canyon and saw several magnificent falls. Saw geysers and hot springs. Bison and elk were abundant. Went to Mammoth Hot Springs where we lost a member of our tour group. He was from Poland. We we're supposed to meet in 45 minutes at the bottom of the terrace. Our tour driver was moving the van and he thought we left him. He hitched a ride back to the motel but we didn't know that. We spent about an hour looking for him. The other two people on the tour were guys from Australia who were doing a motorcycle tour of the US. The hotel called the tour company and finally let us know the missing person had been located. On the trip back to the hotel we saw baby bison and actually had a huge male bison walking down the road beside the van. Finally back at the hotel after a long day. Travel plans for tomorrow are in question as the road we need to take is closed due to avalanche.
